Condition Report:
This work is in very good condition overall. There are artist pinholes at the upper corners and along the lateral and lower edges. There is minor evidence of light handling along the extreme edges, most notably at the lower left and upper left corners. Under close inspection, there are two transparent and shiny accretions in the upper right quadrant (approximately 12 inches below the upper edge and 10 inches from the right edge). Upon further close inspection, there is a faint ½ inches accretion near the upper left corner. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, the aforementioned accretions fluoresce but there is no evidence of restoration. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. Framed.
